hello,

I wanna write this info in 1 row:

<div>My year of birth is {year} and I competed in the {categories}{category_name}{/categories} category.</div>

But the EE inserts the the following html code:
<div>My year of birth is 1966
an I competed in the Science category.</div>

There is a paragraph so I cannot write in 1 line. Why? How can I modify this stupid function?

Richard, set the formatting of the field {year} to none, and you won’t see those paragraph marks.

Make sense?

Sue,

the CSS formatting of that field make it to bold and red but in my CSS no any paragraph.

So if I set it to none then I see those paragraphs too. I tried it.

so what is the real solution?

Ignoring your CSS for the moment…

If you put in {year} like this:

This is a test of {year}.

Inside your exp:weblog:entries tag, does that work?

Did you manually change the formatting for that particular entry to use none instead of xhtml?

okay, here is the test version my blog without any CSS formatting.

and I checked and found all field of all entry is XHTML formatted.

Custom fields have a ‘field formatting’ type- default options: xhtml, br, and none.  See the docs for details on what each option does.

If you don’t want any formatting applied to a field, you’ll want to set the formatting option to ‘none’- in which case, EE won’t (generally) add any formatting.  Which is what it sounds like you want.

If you go to ‘Admin- Weblog Admin- Custom Weblog Fields’ and edit the fields you want set to none- when you change the default format to ‘none’ you’ll get a checkbox near the submit asking if you want that format applied retroactively.  Click it- submit.  All entries should then have that field set to none- and no formatting should be added.

Does that do the trick?

thanks, its okay

Glad you’re squared away!
